Why did you choose to study A Level Maths?

I always wanted to study Maths and to try to understand the relationship between Maths and nature. When I was young, I became fascinated by mathematical sequences and mathematical relationships. If you love numbers and enjoy things like mathematical games, it is a great A Level to do.
